State of Texas Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice

Background

The Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice is a process that recipients of grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), such as states, local governments, and public housing agencies, undertake as part of their obligation to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) under the Fair Housing Act.

At the state level, the Texas General Land Office (GLO), Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) are responsible for carrying out the work of the AI because these agencies receive and disburse HUD funds for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), CDBG Disaster Recovery, Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), HOME, National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) programs.
